Beginner Flutes!!

Hello. I am a "Beginner" 7th Grade Flute player. I have been playing flute for about a year now and I'm pretty good. I need some music that is for a 7th grade flutist. Every time I try to find one, its way too advanced. Thank you guys.

How advanced is too advanced for you?

Hmm... I can recommend you some marching songs like The Black Hawk March .Start with these two songs : The Black Hawk March or Pachebel's Canon . Then move your way up to harder songs like Centuria or something else. If you can't find the Centuria score ,I can send you it.Through Musescore of course

You can look up some songs you like as a piano piece Bc flute and piano are the same key

I actually have a beginner book that I can map into here on musescore. Want me to do it? (Your first scale was Bb, right? If it was then you're in luck!) :)

I don't know how advanced I am (I did get into honor band at a college for junior high in 7th grade) and I have some music. Try maybe Creed, Cave You Fear, March of the Buccaneers, Let It Go, Psalm 42, Foundry, Spy Chase, Amparito Roca (although that one is hard), or On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss.

I would try books like the Rubank series, it has a variety of studies and short pieces. I would also try Robert Cavally "Melodious and Progressive Studies.". They are like mini pieces.
If you are looking for free music, the site https://www.flutetunes.com has a lot of pieces, and they are ranked by their difficulty. It will also tell you the tessitura of the piece, the play time, and it may even have a recording. They come in PDFs, so you can print them as well.
I would also suggest that at an intermediate level, you look more towards compilation books rather than individual pieces. As you get more advanced, sheet music can start costing a lot of money depending on composer, publisher, editor, and so forth. You can also look for music on IMSLP, which is public domain music.
When I was in 7th grade (I'm out of college now), I was playing a lot of Irish and Scottish tunes to help gain finger dexterity and articulation clarity. A really good book, that has a lot of different pieces, short and long, is "Everybody's Favorite Flute Solos". It's published by Music Sales, ISBN 0711903174.

So I've been playing flute about two years now and my method book was Measures of Success, an FJH book. They go from beginner to advanced and at my regional music store cost about $9 each. (Versus a pop book that costs about $11 at my regional music store.) Like the other person said, Rubank is an awesome book to follow and my mom remembers playing music out of it. I only have the advanced method book that I had to get in order to try out for all-state so I have no idea whats in intermediate and elementary. The advanced method book just has a ton of exercises and 'finger twisters' and things of the sort. (for example, it has about three pages dedicated to trill and whatnot.) It also has some solos in the back, but I would look into Measures of Success and then Rubank Elementary method. Good Luck!
